for one of the chief dangers that missionaries in

WHEAT IN AMERICA,
Its Introduction Into the Present Limits o
the United States,

Its Introduction Into the Present Limits OF
the United States.
Concerning the introduction of wheat
into America reliable information is
o%btainablc. 1t may be difficult at the
present day to realize the fact that
wheat was at one time unknown in
America; yet prior to the discovery of
this continent by Columbus there was
no cereal in America approaching in
nature to the wheat plant. 1t was not
until 1880 that wheat found It's way
into Mexico, and then only by chance.
A slave of Cortez found n few grains of
wheat in a parcel of rice aud showed
them to his master, who ordered them
10 be planted. The result showed that
wheat would thrive well on Mexican
soil, and to-day one Of the finest wheat
valleysin the worlds neal the Mexican
capital. From Mexico the cereal found
its way to Peru. Marie D'Escobar,
wife of Don Diego de Chauves, carried
q few grains to Lima, which were
planted, the entire product being used
for seed for several successive crops.
At Quito, Ecuador, q monk Of the
order of st. Francis, named Fra Jodosi
Bixi, introduced a new cereal; and it is
said that the jar which contained the
seed is still preserved by the monks of
Quito. Wheat was introduced into the
present limits of the United States con-
temporaneously with the settlement OF
the country by the English aud other
European s~ettlers -Aiaiaq World.

CRUELTY AMONG BOYS
A Scientist Claims That They Have But
little Compassion for sufferers.

hhAi'N Nch'l'has'' 'uhNi
Like the savagcs Of to-day those
fierce progcnitors Of ours mast have
delighted in the torture Of captured
enemies. Thus, during long ages,
compassion was unknown, and it APP
pears to have been lately acquired by
the now dominant races. Indeed,
even among so highly cultivated u pco-
pie rs the Romans it remained almost
unknown until comparatively recent
timcs-say fifteen hundred years ago
in proof of which may be noted their
hcartlcss fondncss for the bloody sports

The emotion of pity, then. appeared
late in the history of the race; and. in
view of the law Of III development,
which carries US along the path our
ancestors have trod, how can we ex-
pcct our b Us to be any thin. else but
cruel? How far is it judicious to 90.
in trying to alter tho natural course Of
u child's mental growth by imposing
upon him ideas which in due course
he will not share until later?
This last question is inviting,
but We will not 60 into solution
at present, contenting owsclvc. with
observing that because a boy shows no
conjunction at givin. pain 10 n cap
tive bird, or calmly laccratcs the feel

to give himself n few soon neglected
pets, is no reason for expecting him to
grow up u monster Of cruelty. And
we viii further venture TO suggest that
much of the immortality of boys is a
necessary consequence OF their descent,
as n corolLary of which follows the aph-
orism Of my witty friend: "a good
| boy is diseased"
Ny own convl, Jon IS that healthy
boys under ii''"cn feel very little CONF
passion for any suffering but that OF
their near relatives, their close friends
and occasionally their pet animals. Not
only do they cvincc little compassion,
but they often show more than IN ell
